What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposePelvic incidence-lumbar lordosis (PI-LL) mismatch has been widely studied in spinal disorders; however, its impact on total hip arthroplasty (THA) outcomes remains unclear. This study evaluated the impact of preoperative PI-LL mismatch on postoperative functional recovery and spinopelvic dynamics in patients undergoing THA.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 167 patients who underwent primary unilateral THA. Patients were categorised into two groups based on a PI-LL mismatch threshold of 10°: mismatch group (PI-LL ≥ 10°) and matched group (PI-LL < 10°). Preoperative characteristics, spinopelvic parameters, and clinical outcomes were analysed. The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for pain, modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) were used to assess the hip condition preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively.
resultsThe mismatch group exhibited a significantly higher pelvic tilt (PT) and lower sacral slope (SS) than the matched group. Furthermore, the mismatch group demonstrated reduced spinal flexibility, as indicated by a significantly smaller difference in spinopelvic angle between maximum lateral flexion positions. The spinopelvic parameters (PI, LL, PT, and SS) remained stable from preoperative to postoperative assessments. Preoperative mHHS and WOMAC scores were significantly worse in the mismatch group. However, no significant differences in postoperative outcomes were observed between the groups at 6 months.
conclusionPI-LL mismatch was associated with altered spinopelvic parameters and poorer preoperative functional scores. However, short-term outcomes after THA remained comparable. These findings underscore the importance of individualised preoperative assessment while supporting the efficacy of THA, irrespective of spinopelvic alignment.
